Name: Li Tao-Jiang
Age: 26
Sex: Female
Profession: Saburashi Warrior
Location: Main Island
Affiliations: Saburashi, The Empress
Disposition: Stubborn, confrontational, impulsive.

Tao-Jiang was once a hot-headed, confrontational storm of a person, but in the last few years of her life, she has found herself growing softer. Unsure of whether it is because she’s questioning the recent choices of the current Empress or if there is something within her that is just tired of fighting, she does her best to repress these hesitant, second-guesser’s thoughts. To keep herself focused, or rather, distracted, she spends a lot of her free time training at the Saburashi academy and completing brain puzzles and such to keep her mind and body at their sharpest. The last thing she wants is to disappoint her commanding officer and her fellow Saburashi warriors, but she struggles daily with the urge to join with the Kuroten, or at least investigate their cause further.

In appearance, Tao-Jiang is rather charming, with freckled olive-tan skin, dark eyes, and long, dark hair that she keeps twisted up in a half-bun. She’s on the shorter side, standing at about 5’4”, but what she lacks in height, she makes up for in surprising strength. Despite her short stature, Tao-Jiang is built like a brick wall and shamelessly competitive, capable of standing her own ground against enemies that are three times her size. This element makes her a particularly fun sparring partner.

As far as her disposition goes, friends and family members would describe Tao-Jiang as stubborn yet passionate, willing to do whatever it takes to pursue her goals. Although her faith in the Empress is wavering, Tao-Jiang would do almost anything for her fellow warriors, often holding their safety far above her own on the battlefield. While she is outwardly an outgoing, charismatic, and witty person, she struggles with a lot of personal guilt in relation to the lives she has taken and the gore she has witnessed. Because of this, she often suffers from violent, gruesome nightmares, which her grandmother claims is the work of a naughty spirit. Her bedroom is riddled with religious tags and wards, gifts from her grandmother, that are supposed to help reduce the frequency of her nightmares.
